In adittion to your studies

ENJOY THE ART

If you are a person with artistic interests, this is the place for you. We are convinced that art helps us to open up and transcend our everyday feelings towards deeper forms of our own sensitivity. Therefore, paraphrasing a famous thinker, our motto is: Dare to feel!

A CREATIVE COMMUNITY

At the beginning of each semester we offer you the possibility of joining our training programmes linked to the arts: singing, dance, drawing, public speaking, literature and theatre. In other words, we offer you different spaces and times to enjoy art in a group, developing and building your own skills and talents.

WHICH REVOLVES AROUND THE ART

In addition to our training project, during the year there are different opportunities to meet around art. If you are interested in attending our own events as an audience or if you have a cultural proposal that you think we could include in our programme of concerts, competitions, exhibitions, conferences, theatre shows, etc., please do not hesitate to contact our team.
